Rest and respect in order to bring out all the milk’s aromas, followed by those emanating from the cream. But , above all the kneader, unique in France that; “makes my butter sing and cry”. This very same butter is salted and moulded by expert hands, using wooden pallets. Mini butters, cone shaped or simple slabs, all day, the butters are cut to the exact gram, and molded to the client’s wishes. The Bordier butters are not only “Haute couture” but also “taylor-made”.
